Yes, I am a dreamer. A dreamer is one who can find his way by moonlight, and see the dawn before the rest of the world.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

Many times I told you, but I'll say it again. I told you I'm gonna do the best I can, I know what I got to do to make my dream come true.

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

There is a real magic in Enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment.

Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats. Yet each struggle, each defeat, sharpens your skills and strengths, your courage and your endurance, your ability and your confidence and thus each obstacle is a comrade-in-arms forcing you to become better or quit. Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them, avoid them, and you throw away your future.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no help at all.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face ... we must do that which we think we cannot.

Undertake something that is difficult; it will do you good. Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.

The man of character finds an especial attractiveness in difficulty since it is only by coming to grips with difficulty that he can realize his potentialities.

If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity, it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye, and say, "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.

The true measure of a man is not how he behaves in moments of comfort and convenience but how he stands at times of controversy and challenges.

Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.

What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail?

All people dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their mind, wake in the morning to find that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people, for they dream their dreams with open eyes, and make them come true.

Fall down seven times, get up eight.

Men are born to succeed, not fail.

Nothing happens unless one wants it to happen.

A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.

Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much.

That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.

People seldom see the halting and painful steps by which the most insignificant success is achieved.

The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work.

Ones best success comes after their greatest disappointments.

It's simply a matter of doing what you do best and not worrying about what the other fellow is going to do.

There is only one success - to be able to spend your life your way.

The person who wakes up and finds himself a success hasn't been asleep.

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

If you doubt you can accomplish something, then you can't accomplish it. You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through.

What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it.

There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.

So long as there is breath in me, that long I will persist. For now I know one of the greatest principles on success; if I persist long enough I will win.

You can't fly a kite unless you go against the wind and have a weight to keep it from turning a somersault. The same with man. No man will succeed unless he is ready to face and overcome difficulties and is prepared to assume responsibilities.



Success is never wondering "What if?"

It takes 20 years to make an overnight success.

Success is getting what you want, and happiness is wanting what you get.

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe.

There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened. We all have a choice. You can decide which type of person you want to be. I have always chosen to be in the first group.

If not us, who? If not now, when?

If you're going to be thinking, you may as well think big.

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.

Never look down to test the ground before taking your next step; only he who keeps his eye fixed on the far horizon will find his right road.

You have to set goals that are almost out of reach. If you set a goal that is attainable without much work or thought, you are stuck with something below your true talent and potential.

Great minds have purposes, others have dreams.

It takes a person with a mission to succeed.

As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.

All our dreams can come true - if we have the courage to pursue them.

Aim for the moon, even if you miss you'll land amongst the stars.

A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.

Some people grin and bear it, while others smile and change it.

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

To do nothing is in every man's power.

Well done is better than well said.

I'm a believer in luck and I find that the harder I work, the more I have of it.

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark; professionals built the Titanic.

Try not. Do or do not. There is no try.

I am only one; but still I am one. I can not do everything, but I still can do something.

It's fun to do the impossible.

One of the greatest pleasures in life is doing what people say you can not.

You must do the thing you think you can not do.

To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved but at what he aspires to do.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

All men who have achieved greats things have been great dreamers.

In dreams begin responsibility.

It's difficult to say what is impossible. People often tell me that the things I dream are impossible, and yet here I am with something in my hand that I would say is rather possible.

The dream is always real, the failure to realize it is the only reality.

All men of action are dreamers.

What is now proved was once imagined.

The problems of this world can not possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were.

There are some people, who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.

You are what you think.

Most people never run far enough of their first wind to find out they've got a second. Give you dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed iat the energy that comes out of you.

.. they resolved to go back to their own land; because the years have a kind of emptiness when we spend too many of them on a foreign shore. But... if we do return, we find that the native air has lost its invigorating quality, and that life has shifted its reality to the spot where we have deemed ourselves only temporary residents. Thus, between two countries, we have none at all...
